Uhh... Where does my program need to put it?

Adding a shortcut to "All Programs" with program

Posted 15 December 2006 - 09:18 AM

I want to write my own specific, specialized, and customized installer/uninstaller program in C++. I already know how to have the program unpack itself into a directory and put a shortcut on the desktop, but I don't know where the "All Programs" shortcuts are located. I don't care if my program can register in the Add/Remove Programs list (because I'm putting an uninstaller shortcut next to the others).

but if your users install on win 95 or 98 your gonna wanna check th os version within the program. that way you'll be able to install it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs like realNoName said if it's XP, but if it's win 98 or 95 or 200o, i think it's just C:\windows\start menu\programs\ then from there you would make a a folder labeled with the name of the game.
